The platform is encountering connectivity issues with one of the servers. As a precaution we had to suspend trading temporarily.

Our matching engine server was restarted by our hosting provider without notice. We are in the process of restarting the server and returning the platform to normal operations. We expect this process to take at least 30 more minutes. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Bitfinex experienced connectivity issues for some users over the last 15 minutes due to a network traffic routing problem. The issue has now been resolved. Apologies for any inconvenience this caused.
The platform is under extreme load. We are investigating. Seems a DDoS attack was launched soon after we relaunched the platform.
The cause of the outage has been identified. A DDoS attack was launched soon after we restarted operations. The previous outage was caused by issues with one of our infrastructure providers. While the platform was recovering, the attack caused extreme load on the servers. We are adjusting the DDoS protection measures to fend off the attack and be able to relaunch. Currently we are running tests to make sure we can safely restart operations. As soon as we have a clearer ETA on when operations will restart we will report.
We are finishing the steps to restart operations. We expect we can return to normal operations within the next 15 minutes. Please stand by.

Bringing back the platform back online is taking longer than expected. We are running tests in order to safely resume normal operations. If no issues are detected, relaunch can be within the next minutes, it can take longer if we do encounter unexpected outcomes of the tests. We fully understand users wish to receive a clearer ETA, but at this point, we cannot be more specific. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Bitfinex is currently undergoing planned platform maintenance and will be unavailable for the next 2 hours. Please monitor https://bitfinex.statuspage.io and https://twitter.com/bitfinex for updates. Why do you need to take Bitfinex offline? The vast majority of all maintenance and updates are executed without the need to suspend trading. Unfortunately, there are occasions where we need to roll out updates that require the platform to be suspended. We actively try to minimise this; unfortunately once or twice per year, an update requires the platform to be paused. Why are you executing maintenance while the markets are active? Crypto markets are active all day, every day, all year. Regardless of what hour of the day we choose to perform upgrades, the markets will be active. Unlike traditional markets, we are not given the luxury of daily breaks that would allow us to roll out updates without suspending trading. There is no perfect moment to execute an update like this. What is so important that it justifies needing to suspend trading for up to 2 hours? Today we are rolling out major optimisations to our trading engine. These changes will result in being able to better cope with platform load during volatile markets. Furthermore, these changes lay the foundation for future scalability as the crypto markets continue to grow. We will publish more details on the improvements later this week. What benefits will users see from this? Today's update will bring about a number of engine performance improvements, including improved scalability and reduced latency. In addition to this, it will lay the core foundation for all future platform improvements.
Unfortunately, the maintenance is taking longer than anticipated. We expect to have the platform online again in about one hour. Apologies for any inconvenience.
